“You’re truly clueless,” he remarked.
Embarrassment washed over Yelena as she realized she had never paid attention to this matter.
She had noticed that Hank had a room off- limits to outsiders, including herself, but she had assumed that it was either an unsafe area or that it contained aspects of his life he didn’t want to share, so she had never given it much thought.
Little did she know…
“You never expected that he is such a devoted fan of a young celebrity, did you?”
“How did you come to know about this?”
Slevin’s smile remained unwavering as he looked at her.
“Haven’t I told you? There’s nothing I want to know that I haven’t already discovered.”
“But why did you choose to tell me this?”
Curiosity lingered within Yelena as she questioned his motive for sharing this information.
If the person in front of her hadn’t been deceiving her, she wondered why he would be so kind as to reveal such details.
Observing her perplexed expression mingled with hidden anticipation, thuy bao he let out a regretful sigh.
“I didn’t expect this news to bring you so much joy.Had I known, I wouldn’t have disclosed it.”
She was taken aback by his words.
“Why?”
“Because I suddenly realized that you are quite intriguing.If my unfortunate younger brother were to pass away, why don’t you come with me?”
An instant rush of crimson flushed her face.
Yelena couldn’t believe that even at this moment, he still had the mood to tease her.
“Thank you for your kind offer, but it’s unnecessary,” she responded firmly.
Slevin rose from his seat and slowly approached her.
Sporting his customary smile, he exuded a friendly and composed demeanor that effectively crowded out any other thoughts on him.
When he drew closer, he suddenly leaned forward and rested his hands on the chair’s armrests.
The distance between them closed in an instant, and the atmosphere turned ambiguous.
“What’s wrong? Do you think I’m inferior to my younger brother?”
he inquired.
Slevin had a tall and graceful figure, and especially his face had a touch of softness that made him look even more approachable compared to Hank.
Although the two were attractive, they didn’t bear many physical resemblances.
Caught off guard by his question, Yelena didn’t know how to respond and simply leaned back in her chair.
“Mr.Slevin, please be mindful of your actions.”
“Mindful?”
He lifted her chin provocatively and retorted, “Now that you’re in my villa, do I need your permission to do as I please?”
Slevin’s behavior offended Yelena.
The furrow between her brows was a sign of her resentment.
“Get your hands off me.Even though I’m staying at your place, I have the right to defend myself.I can’t guarantee that I won’t fight back if you cross the line.”
“You surprised me, you know? You’re quite a character.No wonder my brother is fond of you.”
Slevin couldn’t help but chuckle at her alarmed look.He took a few steps back to keep a safe distance from her.
“Forgive me.I just can’t help it.You’re adorable.”
Yelena choked at his flirtatious behavior.
“I’m not adorable! Can you be serious for a second?”
Her outburst took him aback before he suddenly burst into laughter.
“I brought you a piece of important information a few moments ago.Is this how you show your gratitude?”
“Right.Thank you, but it has nothing to do with your behavior.”
“I told you.I’m just messing with you.”
“I don’t find it funny at all.”
“All right.All right.I’ll stop talking about it if you don’t like my joke.”
Slevin’s gaze fell on Yelena’s puffed cheeks.He couldn’t help but reach out a hand to pat her on the head, but she swatted his hand away.
“Listen.I think I’ve gotten enough information from you.It’s my cue to leave.”
At that moment, Yelena finally remembered she had tagged along with Federick to the banquet, and she forgot to tell him when she left.She frantically took out her phone, only to find the battery ran out some time ago.
Slevin’s brows shot up in amusement as he watched her trying to turn her phone on.
“How about this? You can charge your phone at my place.Once the battery is full, you can leave.”
Yelena was anxious.
“Federick would be worried about me if I don’t go back soon.”
“Well, what can you do now? I don’t suppose you memorized his number?”
She choked at the question.
“No.”
“What’s the point of panicking if you don’t remember his number, and can’t guarantee that you’ll find him in the same place? I think it’s better if you stay to charge your phone.Give him a call once you can turn on your phone.Yelena had no choice but to agree with his suggestion.
“It’s okay.Stop worrying for a second.You’re a grown woman.It’s not like you’ll wander off and get lost or anything.”
Yelena returned his teasing with a strained chuckle.She indeed got lost somewhere in the past.
Moreover, she came across Federick in the process.
“Hey, stop worrying.Charging your phone is what matters.Everything will have to wait until you charge your phone.”
Yelena took his advice to charge her phone.
As soon as she turned on her phone, it was immediately flooded with messages.
Most of them were from Federick.
Besides, she missed ninety-nine missed calls from him.
Yelena connected to her mobile data network with shaky hands.
Somebody was initiating a call on her.
